violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of kandahar. trying to look for asians rule today. we know how evil the enemy is and we have to confront it so who exactly is that enemy all according to the chairman of the house homeland security committee that enemy would be american muslims so is congressman peter king and joseph mccarthy. as a survivor of congressman king into office while many of them were muslims themselves so what do they have to say about their representation now. with great concern in our community and we need somebody to voice their concerns and it turns out representative king may not be alone in his opinion for take you to

a region in the united kingdom where a hotbed of tikrit is brewing. and who would you choose to promote democracy world why would it be an impeach john she was recently sued for sexual harassment doubtful so why does the u.s. government have a criminal making huge democratic decision abroad. is wednesday march ninth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine freeze out there watching our team. well he's the new york congressman who famously declared that there are too many mosques in america and some are overwrought republican peter king will begin hearing from his investigation into the radicalization of muslims progress and king who is the chairman of the house homeland security committee says he's doing it in the name of protecting the homeland across the country protests against this have erupted he's

there against targeting a single religion some even calling it a modern day attempt mccarthyism argues kalen port reports. half a decade ago during america's second red scare this was the accusation to answer. that rather than the better the commerce clause today it's this one muslim leaders are not doing enough to cooperate with law enforcement there's actually been instances of imani instructing people in their mosques not to cooperate with law enforcement accusations of disloyalty subversion treason made not by some planted there a wonder of radical islam the slight. neighborhood you live in and the author operates there. but by the chairman of the congressional homeland security committee republican pete king who is launching his highly publicized hearings on the radicalization of muslims in america we know how evil is enemy is and we have to confront it and to me its approach of to all muslims when we don't think about

islamic terrorists it's almost as if we are afraid to insult muslims because we're targeting the terrorists but king dismisses the critics who say these hearings unfairly single out muslims i don't see any of these criticisms seriously because they just need jerk liberal left wing reaction and this is the politically correct establishment despite criticism from the right and the left at the mere announcement of the hearings kean says he won't back down going to name those names we're going to have expert witnesses and with what we have to do. worries critics like history professor alan schrenker we've always had our scapegoats today it's muslims in the one nine hundred fifty s. it was communists this is a congressman from new york it's following in the footsteps of the senator from wisconsin joseph mccarthy focusing on people's associations in this case religious

rather than political but calling them. in public and exposing them to some kind of sanctions whether it's just nasty e-mails whether it is our dismissals our workplace sanctions eman abdul ali musette says that despite muslim leaders cooperation with the f.b.i. they're continuously viewed as the enemy especially since the end of the cold war the worse thrives on war and throws on conflict where for who would put up a peace so we became. the new carmen and according to the department of homeland security study islamic extremists are seen as a threat in thirty one states while neo nazi and white supremacist cells groups left out of king's homeland security hearings are seen as a threat in all but four when we talk about terrorism in the united states what who have been the terrorists you know some poor pathetic nut in arizona timothy

mcveigh in oklahoma city these are the people who are killing americans not. for critics on the right and the left the echoes of mccarthyism are troubling last month he also introduced the see something say something designed to prevent citizens from lawsuits when they report suspicious activity but critics say it amounts to little more than informing on each other much as they did during mccarthyism and the cold war q and ford r.t. washington d.c. well thoroughly and have lived through the gate. hearings have brought forth dozens of discussions on all sides and when the hearings began tomorrow we will no doubt hear more much more now i want to introduce two people with very different ideas about what's about to happen he might leave the president of the organization less government and a model only move size the director of the last two dollars one mosque right here in washington d.c. first things first guys is peter king

a modern day joseph mccarthy mom i'll start with you some a lot of money first of all he's a modern adolf hitler with his libertarian chancellor nineteen thirty three burn rice to get on his enemies and gave them the right to defend the fatherland so if you talk about the these new senate the congressional hearings on islam and muslims and radicalism i travel all over the country. all the time and i know most of the muslims and i don't see any of what he's talking about satan or use or you know i saying that peter king was responsible for nine eleven. but i'm hearing him say off you're going to bring bring you in i was very good and you were comparing him to the same peter came not with my mind i was no i was george bush and israelis were that's not you and that's opinion of most of the muslims that's not getting you know and their human being yet of most of the americans to know god out it

thirty four percent like canada scuse me canada started out at thirty four percent if you want to do it and it has accelerated if you ever since nine one one the people of the world have leaned away from the muslims toward either israelis or americans or a combination or a god i want to keep it that what happened was about to happen tomorrow that's not late is here king a modern day just mccarthy well i hope so because it was right. after the soviet war fell the papers were started and they were released from the soviet union and all the things he was saying were correct stan evans is a fantastic journalist who was documented in book after book that mccarthy was right so if peter king turns out to be talking about a mccarthy that's a very good thing right about what happened to america and look what happened with how it all ended in a cardiac it didn't it didn't have his intended outcome it didn't make things better if you ate american slogan versus being dead were

a good thing but people were detained that had no business being detained simply because no. as it turned out the vast majority of the people he accused and where they were detained were actually spying for the soviet night i think being right is a very good example of culpa tory situation could i comment on that first of all the lies and careers of people that were ruined in hollywood and on the stage it is unbelievable why because of fear blacklisting and all of this this was unbelievable joseph mccarthy is known as. almost as hitler why are bringing fear to america is. government is like this is it can't get its way it was just fear the whole country into submission to follow and it's. so joe joe mccarthy was hitler here can you tell more he said we played you for the hit record twice in three minutes that's preposterous because every time i look at t.v.

there's a link between islam the shape of jerusalem and muslims were adolf hitler saddam's connection to hitler so i'm just i'm following i'm going all on your path well your path is connecting everything back to hitler i don't feel good enough that we're not on the lookout i know this could be as i hope it is your whole t.v. everything relates back to left when using a dumb level word media the reason you are fired you never will you except for this right here you can even get no truth and america is receiving a whole lot of it all articles online most likely go on and i want to go on this topic of peter king certainly he is a congressman from long island long island certainly not far from where the terrorist attacks took place a lot of these muslims actually campaigned for peter king over the years well guess what they have a little bit of a different feeling now especially because peter king's reaction has changed i want to go to a story now that r.t.

is more important i added where he actually visited one of these mass and talked to the people. on friday. a familiar sound of worship echoes to me islamic center of long island. new it's a place of prayer education and community service for many of long island seventy thousand muslims and it's also a place where u.s. congressman peter king spent years building bridges with american voters but. supporters who today remain shocked that kenya labeled their mosque a hotbed for extremism that should be put under surveillance for the planned it i want to read things also and we have been to his office many times what about if we needed out of it. bieber ahmed is chairman of the long island center that sits just outside the boundaries of king's third congressional district amid fears the man he once fundraise for they currently be the strongest force fueling the flames of

islamophobia in america to. my community is my biggest concern and trying to create it is. me why are you doing these things during his early days as congressman king was often seen at the islamic center on long island giving lectures holding book signings even serving as the main guest of honor when the fair officially open official say since september eleventh two thousand and one the u.s. representative has not stepped one foot inside this building the islamic center unanimously condemned the event but cut ties with the institution after two officials were quoted in nine muslim involvement and linking israel to nine eleven to. instead peter king recently appointed chairman of the powerful house homeland security committee has announced congressional hearings on allegedly hidden radicalism among american muslims and mosques. a

drastic turn that has brought fear to king's constituents you generalize. and arise in a very broad way in a way that will not serve. both the american roof or even outside of my states it has been very disturbing to us especially when the coalition of muslim population in the long island community is growing substantially looking for support. congressman king has said that most muslim leaders in this country aren't cooperating with authorities yet no member of this long island islamic center has ever been accused of terrorism. muslim americans in this community are appalled that their very own u.s. representative is targeting them based on their religious beliefs their extremists

in every every community every religion i mean you you know why just islam what does he have to gain from it either a personal vendetta or maybe something to end in the politics there's a lot of fear people are really angry anxious because to because the burden falls on to really explain the experience in a country of tolerance a new york community left feeling isolated and marginalized by the man they once rallied behind her enough archie new york. all righty nalini mommas i want to talk about this notion marina mentioned something in her package she talked about these hearings not only you know kind of the immediate results but she counted out them fanning the flames of islamophobia in america a man many people have said that the what we're about to see this week here in washington could perhaps and give more moderate muslims

a reason to consider being radical talk about this no the muslims are not the end radicalized the muslims right now especially these women but muslims they are so afraid it's unbelievable non-cooperation with a government that right here in virginia the two biggest centers in this area cooperated regularly with the f.b.i. i cannot speak i used to be one of most popular speakers on the platform i cannot speak fact i spoke at long island a while back i can't speak on any platform and now any muslim platform with because of my ideas and the way i talk. afraid that i will make the government may think i'm although they're being oppressed so i'm sorry anything that the congressman say it reminds me of the old house where they call the house of un-american activities when anything that they don't like was considered a threat to america and i'll tell you what research we ran across was the best

groups of citizens in america were mormons and muslims this is what they say it's enough let's talk about this i mean whether or not this bigger picture of what these here i think what i do i think we just heard the bigger picture he's losing speaking gigs because he's insane when it comes to what happened on nine eleven and those muslims those mosques are saying we don't want any part of what he has to say those mosques are being put before peter king's committee because they're not nuts the ones he's investigating or the ones that are engaged potentially in a terrorist act. or shielding terrorist certainly there have been forty eight instances of domestic terror. related since nine eleven just that i don't in my phone in my research and more than half of them involve multiple participants and i just lone wolf single individuals there's a lot of one a six there's a virginia there was a virginia doesn't have an i have a list in my pocket but that one is either there's also the two kids involved in

columbine there's the kid did you attack there is jared loughner in arizona none of them are muslim timothy mcveigh wasn't muslim. now going back over twenty years to get before the well off the top of my head then i got the nine eleven call that. i was on last night on the work with someone who said there had been forty eight. terror related activities since alive and. all of the radiology or whatever you want to say combined which means one in three more than one in three islamic related so peter king playing the numbers will i'm robbing the base because that's where the money is he's investigating the number one leading cause of domestic terrorism or attempted to mask terrorism in the united states you play the numbers i think the concern now is that a lot of attention could build up here and i want to take you now to a community that actually in the united kingdom where tension is starting to build

up between muslims and christians it is our. selves to see straight from the bizarre is it the laureates this is loose in north london they've just some twenty five thousand muslims of british and other origins one of them was time. that's in there now as the star. abdul qadeer facts new here describes a volatile carrots rejected by the community at large when he was here he was challenge is ideologies is think these were challenged which. when we realized it wasn't we exposing to everybody every gram of this part of this person's community they got up and walked out and we never saw them again the next they heard our played himself our kids we did and that's just the latest claim to infamy which is fast becoming known as a hotbed of extremism the town's been linked to

a variety of terrorist plots and elite british intelligence reports identified leeson as one of the main hubs of fanaticism in the country extremism breeds extremism and in steps the english defense league committed to protecting influence from what they see as a wave of islam is a leader tommy robinson believes he's walking where all those fear to tread we have called egypt marking. with grave concerns in our community and we need somebody to voice their concerns politicians and they don't think they can say e.t.l. kulu to their home although others say their groups are in football hooliganism they recently held their biggest ever march through the town ahead of which robinson says the police told him his life was in danger your opinion fawaz they may be appropriate if you leave the area for the foreseeable future the town of lucent has undeniable links to islamic extremism including most recently to stop

hating palmer who spent time here and that in turn leads directly to the rise of groups like the a.d.l. who believe the indian danger is under threat meanwhile the people of luton see their talent in the headlines because of extremists from both sides of the fence the town's m.e.p. says the course majority of military needs live in harmony and a distressed by their homes image but we can be in caves and in harmony to stand quietly peacefully and show that the force for security has to stand and if this country tries to do. police to work so this station. here still claims of this family slaves in england for telling him from a normal boy into a fanatic some points to unemployments insatiable deprivation is the reason for the extremes found in luton pax lays the blame squarely at the doors of the government for you know the level of good ideas but these issues through this develops this

nine eleven because it was foreign policy that's what spots really start going in iraq you know you know illegal war killing women children so i was all for going to afghanistan you know carpet bombing it's clearly been wild was thousands of miles away to make their presence felt it lead to where every so often shopkeepers boarded up the town center and prepare for the hurricane of extremism to pass three . artsy lisa. and we're here we have this place in england where tensions are flaring out i also must imagine what's going on right now in cairo egypt where muslims and christians are attacking each other kind of interesting it all started on the thought of romeo and juliet love affair between a muslim and a christian a report showing at least thirteen people were killed when a muslim are mob gone from christians who are protesting the think you could ever get to this point here in march first of all i like to clear up a few facts brother because. the muslims in this area the

biggest. seizing of. books was in northern virginia right over here. muslims there have been collected before politely all of their books over six years ago and they haven't got a case yet saw those of the most corporative muslims in the united states the homes were invaded they were basically or prose but next thing is as far as. islam is concerned and these people. who have been arrested in recent years you have to look at the concept of entrapment i understand contract because i've been trapped by the government if you look at the african americans we lose we look at very close you take the new york issue they rolled in a pakistani got out of jail went to the mustard the man told him stay away from the

center just like that a man did stay away from the center he went around and picked on the last act is muslims and the community showered them with money then after that drove the guys to new york to a synagogue and said now plays this year and then the f.b.i. arrested him just a minute and caught the judge actually a guy do you know was going on here he was a little patient and he was on tours seeing prolix and the judge asked do you know what's going on here. so i'm telling you my brother know nothing about our enemies are talking about there certainly have been cases where the government the f.b.i. has uncovered situations in which stocks are were in the works but you know some people get called an account and you kind of chuckled so i had a time he spent three minutes discussing one incident i mentioned forty eight the vast majority mentioned specifically and he was already yes it is a lock on

a six the a twelve in virginia in zero five zero three excuse me. there are forty eight individual instance where that was entrapment where they were convicted or in the process of being convicted and the fact of the matter is and this is what it's this is what upsets me and there are some of the muslim community that are joining us this is a huge opportunity for the muslim community. this is a huge opportunity for them to come forward and say we are helping and a lot of them are availing themselves there of their working with peter came peter king just didn't wake up one day and said let's do this he's been looking at this for years he's going to investigate the rhetoricians of the muslim community that i haven't been collaborating and in shielding care activity those are the ones and the only ones that he's investigating. went to the synagogue and said to the rabbis if you don't cooperate with us we're going to give you trouble supposedly went to the churches around america and demanded that the religious leaders cooperate with the f.b.i.

about the religious added two of the people is spiraling or directly related to a the guys who is arrested here in d.c. some of them came to my you do you know what pedro i run in for dupont park there is everybody in the universe out there shooting pedro now that means you have to re have raised the level or the threshold for guilt and innocence have to be very low you will have to have frightened the american community about what nair ism is i know according to terrorize the jury is terrorize the american terrorized i'm thinking for the americans have not one is not a liar but israeli law this guy they had a big demonstration downtown. a few months ago a little against see here let me be an american republic where are being made alfredo not afraid. and that was the not late president of last government and even

under law we move fast track at the last alley in washington d.c. . now think a commission set answer from oh democracy security and human rights and a noble cause certainly needs a noble leader right now as it turns out its former co-chair hunger smith alcee hastings may not be so noble after all back in the late eighty's he was impeached from his position as a federal judge and now he's been slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit so how could someone like this possibly be in charge of moral oversight and joining me now to talk more about this is chris farrel the director of investigations and research for judicial watch and chris i want to talk about congressman hastings history. how the body record i know from the seventy's and eighty's he was a federal judge he was impeached for taking a bribe to give out a lesser punishment he was impeached for perjury for bribery now he's been charged

with sexual harassment this is a man who was once as we said in charge of the healthy commission also known as the u.s. commission on security and cooperation on europe talked to me now about this great irony well i'll see these things is certainly a very controversial character and you know there's only been six or seven judges in the history of the country who were been pinched by the house and convicted in the senate and removed from office and alcee hastings is one of the six or seven of the last two hundred thirty years or so and the notorious personal record and certainly one that indicates some pretty grave judgmental questions about how we think and it was remarkable some of the people of south florida decided to return him to federal service which is that's curious all by itself i think he was and he asked not ever to run for public office or to seek public office again and he's a remarkably arrogant character and i think that's demonstrated by the fact that impeachable judge decides to turn around and then go back into federal office and what's more remarkable is that the people of south florida have returned him to

office over and over again so that's another curious piece of the story when it comes to his personal behavior with regard to when. packer because when some packer is the helsinki commission employee who alcee hastings harassed tormented when after despite being told repeatedly no. despite other people on the staff being asked to please intercede and stop they have him you know since this behavior towards her he's unrelenting and unapologetic and you let me interrupt you real quick i know we have a statement from congressman hastings i just wanted to put up he says quote i have never sexually harassed anyone in fact i am insulted that these ludicrous allegations are being made against me i will win this lawsuit struggle why is he so confident we look forward to discovery and taking his deposition in that regard and that of other employees at the helsinki commission i think will be very illuminating when all the details come out about his particular behavior with regard to mr packer the maybe other folks who decide that now's the time to step

forward i think will be very illuminating about how he's comported himself and actually have he's conducted business within the commission you know this is a snapshot but there's probably a broader picture here it will be very interesting for the public to understand what kind of a man his things is i know it's interesting when you take a look at some of the complaints. by mr packer i know that he constantly asks to stay at her apartment he would ask her ridiculous questions in the workplace that are like really kind of underwear and revolting. but i do want to focus kind of on his role on this commission are charged with making moral decisions i mean talk about this i mean how how is this leadership in the us percy eaves and my other is when this is who we're having levy's connection you know the ironies and paradoxes here are manifold here's a here's a commission that's been established you know for security human rights cooperation in europe really really fostering all the principles all that all the good stuff

that people would want to see in government and in policy in public life and here is this man who seems to be really i think this is. what do you tell me just what we can expect in the coming weeks and months and terms of this loss there sure will course initially they'll be an exchange of legal briefs back and forth and sort of a process but at some point we're going to discover you would be taking depositions of mysterious things and others the commission will find about staff members who are told will interview senator ben cardin who miss packer went to complained about since he was the senate equivalent of the strange things and asked them why did you do nothing what if you stand by idly when you read the complicit or negligent and just there by do nothing or did you willingly do you think the u.s. government might think twice next time on who they choose to leave in fact commissioned that chris farrell director of investigations and research at judicial watch and that's going to do it for now and look for more on the stories we covered the artsy dot com slash usa.
